This paper describe the viability of nuclear battery for powering micro electromechanical system(MEMS) devices.The potential of a nuclear battery for longer shelf-life and higher energy density when compared with other modes of energy storage make them an attractive alternative to investigate. The public is familiar with nuclear energy in nuclear power plants but not in nuclear batteries. Nuclear batteries are in fact closer to nuclear power plants than traditional batteries in that they use radioactivity to generate power instead of storing an amount of charge. When compared to chemical batteries, nuclear batteries are characterized by higher volumetric energy density and stronger endurance in harsh conditions. This report will explore the present state of nuclear battery technology and its importance.
